Baby Shower #5

Today after school our Minnehaha friends at north campus (the high school, grades 9-12) had a baby shower for us and the other teachers that have had a baby in the past year or so. There were 5 cuties that were celebrated - Mckenna, Josiah, Ellorie, Kate, and Keira. Here are some pictures from the shower. Mckenna has been having a rough few days - we think she is cutting some top teeth, so you can see in the pictures that she looks kind of tired and dazed... that's how she seems to be handling her teething periods so far - just kind of quiet and dazed, not really too cranky or crying. I'm happy to say that she is sound asleep at the moment, thank goodness! :)

Cute balloon cakes for all the babes!




This is Baby Lucy and her mom, Sarah. I work with Sarah's husband, David, and they have two boys also. The shower was actually celebrating Lucy's older brother Josiah. MA gives showers for the first baby born to a teacher while they are working at MA. Even though Lucy is younger than Josiah, her brother was the first to be born after David starting teaching at Minnehaha, so he was the guest of honor. Lucy is 4 months old and looks pretty tiny next to Mckenna, who is 6 1/2 months old. I still can't believe how fast they grow from week to week, month to month! As you can see, Mckenna is starting to fade...


Here is our good friend and colleague, Liz. I think Liz is one of Mckenna's #1 fans! Here Mckenna is getting more tired...


...and now definitely overdue for a nap. This is our friend and one of MA's Spanish teachers, Julianna. She and her husband Marvin are expecting a baby girl in August, their first child. Notice the top front of Mckenna's dress is darker than the rest - that is drool! She is quite the drooler these days.


And one last smile for the camera before leaving to go home for the evening. If you look really closely you can get a glimpse of Mckenna's two tiny bottom teeth - so cute!


A nice nap will do wonders! Mckenna slept in the car on the way home, woke up as we drove into the garage, and was all ready for a walk around the neighborhood. Again, look closely to see those two small pearly whites! :)
